Is there a chance that these binaries are being seen as 'NetBSD ELF' instead
of 'Linux ELF', and not running under the correct emulation?  This should
be apparent via ktrace/kdump.

The fact that acrobat runs when launched by Netscape would perhaps point to
the emulation. (e.g. Netscape is already running under Linux emulation, so
acrobat is ok)
